Managing Producer, DigitalA Lehigh Valley native, I come to LehighValleyNews.com from The Morning Call where I worked more than 14 years in various roles on the digital news team. An Easton (Go Rovers!) and Kutztown University graduate, I live on Allentown’s east side and I’m actively involved in the Midway Manor community group. In my spare time, I also enjoy the local craft beer scene, love to travel and can often be found tracking severe weather. Contact me at StephanieS@lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8160.
